If this strategy is not just political rhetoric but will actually prove effective in preventing undocumented immigration then I can only wonder why it was not implemented twenty years or more ago.

So sorry that you have been forced to interact with some State-Employed-Workers; Not quite all of them are so nasty and entitled. You must remember that they were hired to the job, not on merit or qualifications , but because they voted for the party in power and their MP set them up.

On Physical Planning not helpful

As the KJV Bible has over 700,000 words it is almost always possible to pick some that can be used to justify almost any position that you care to take. Thus we have the letter writer picking out a couple of verses from Proverbs to justify his position that parents and teachers should hit the children under their care. Leviticus forbids anyone from eating pork of any kind and also conch, crab, and lobster; these all being creatures that crawl on the bottom of the ocean. Does the letter writer enjoy bacon for breakfast or a conch salad? What is that nine letter word beginning with "H" and ending with "E"?

For those who are interested in the truth; inflation in the US is currently 3.1%. People who rely on that right wing US tv media station for their news are very often fed a distorted view of current affairs. Under the Biden administration the Bahamas economy has done well, unprecedented real estate sales and new records in tourist arrivals. In the US the stock market reached an all time high on Monday and unemployment is historically low. It is puzzling that the letter writer seems to have missed all this. The rise in food prices and the increased cost of fossil fuel are both worldwide and caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and nothing to do with President Joe Biden's Administration.

Can someone please translate this from political Newspeak into plain English?

Right, now that the horse has bolted we can bolt the stable door. Why does it always have to happen like this this Bahamas State Employed Workers?

How do you spell cronykickbacks? Just asking, no relevance to this story at all.

His Excellency the good Bishop Delton,
Has a solution to the country’s crime problem.
Wayward chillren, especially boys,
Must be redirected to wholesome toys.
School social clubs and Christian church,
Must fill the adolescent search,
For meaning in this violent land,
Where gangs and death walk hand in hand.

Ideally every room in every police station should have cctv recorded off site. All "confessions" should be videotaped. This is what happens in civilized countries, those countries still have evil policemen but there are less reported incidents of police abuse.
